History of Prophecies amongst the Maasai People Mpatiany (1824–1889) Mpatiany, born in about 1824, was one of the most renowned loibonok of Maasai in East Africa.He lived in northern Tanzania and is remembered by many Maasai for presiding over the time of their greatest prosperity and unity, attributed, in great part, to his spiritual authority and leadership. After his father Supeet’s death in the mid–nineteenth century, Mpatiany became the major oloiboni (oloiboni kitok) of the Purko and Kisongo sections of southern Maasai and led the ilmurran in the successful defeat of the Laikipiak section of Maasai. Because of his tremendous spiritual powers and following, Mpatiany was considered by the British to be the “chief ” of the Maasai. He is perhaps most famous for his prophecy that accurately foretold the decimation of Maasaicattle herds by disease (rinderpest), followed by the coming of the British: A disease will destroy the herds of cattle and a civil war between the parties of Lenana and Senteu will thin the ranks of the warriors. Then will a white hawk approach from the coast and settle in our land and deliver us from the edge of ruin. But after this time of testing, the Maasai people will have new blood and their old power. According to Maasai traditions,Mbatiany went insane toward the end of his life because of a curse by his brother Mako. He abandoned his family and wandered alone in the plains.His madness only increased his spiritual powers and reputation as a prophet, and people thought of him as a “child of Eng’ai” (a Maasai divinity). Now that he had completely forsaken the secular world around him, he was completely open to Eng’ai’s power and visions. Some reported that he could even “infuse dry dust with his power and give that dust to warriors as a charm for their success Unfortunately, upon Mpatiany’s death in 1889, two of his sons, Lenana and Senteu, fought over the right to inherit his position. Their rivalry provoked violent confrontations between their followers, and eventually they became the chief iloibonok for different territorial sections of Maasai.
